Promoting my book about shaving: A visit to the radio studio at NRK
On tuesday 03. december I was the guest of NRK-radio’s “Good Morning Trøndelag”.
It was fun, and they also made a good text with nice pictures to their website. In this text, there is also a link to the previous one that NRK produced after we made a series of three episodes about the history of shaving. This was on the program “Norgesglasset.”
Look at this: http://www.nrk.no/trondelag/sylskarpt-stal-mot-strupen-i-studio-1.11393754

Star – the modern razor’s mother
I just got a great antiquity in the house. It is a “Star” from Kampfe Bros. I consider this razor to be “the modern razor’s mother”, since it was the first mass-produced razor which placed the head on top of the shaft, in a “T” shape, and had replaceable blades, like we are used to today.
